Harvard constitutional law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that he doesn’t plan to accept any payment for working on President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense team.
During an interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Dershowitz said he was joining the defense team because he strongly believes in the Constitution and opposes the impeachment effort. He said he was concerned about the “weaponization of impeachment” and that this could be used as precedent in other cases.
